You rebuilt the engine and now you have higher compression - more breaking effect. I doubt it's the clutch if everything else about the clutch is OK. If the pressure plate was tight up against the flywheel and the centering tool slid in an out with ease it should be fine. I'd look at your drive shaft u-joints and then the rest of the drive line. Using the engine as a brake is not the best thing for it anyway, IMHO That's what brakes are for.

Get the code out of the computer. Clean the oil and then watch where it's coming from - Valve Cover Gaskets is easy There is also a rear cam cover that has an o-ring and is easy to change.

There is a snap ring on the end of the axle shaft that goes into the Rear Diff. It has to get popped in. If the lateral links are removed, a good jolt on the rear brake will pop the snap ring in. If the links are hooked up, put a wood block up against the inner CV Joint boot and give it a good hit. I don't like this option as you can damage the boot.

Buy me a few XXX and put me up for a week and I'll fly down with some. Larry

Get the CEL and Trans codes 1st! Yes, a trans flush and new filter would be a good second step. When I flush the trans I: 1- Drain 2- Pull the Trans radiator cooler line, put it in a gallon jug 3- Fill with new fluid 4- Start the car, the old fluid will pump out 5- Shut the engine off when you have about 1/2 gallon Repeat steps 3-5 until you get new clean fluid out.

First, put a 2x4 on the floor under the brake pedal so it does not go to the floor in an area of the master cylinder where it has not been going. It can take out the seal. 1) With a hose on the bleeder going into some brake fluid pump until you have a firm brake 2) With light pressure on the brake, loosen the nut to let the old fluid come out 3) Repeat steps 1&2 until you have clean air free fluid coming out of the brake. Make sure you don't run the master cylinder out of fluid. http://www.amazon.com/Motive-Products-101-System-Bleeder/dp/B00CJ5DWKO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1454529257&sr=8-5&keywords=motive+products+brake+bleeder Worth every penny.

Best to put a meter on the battery terminals and measure the voltage before you start it and then after. When it's running you should have 13.6 volts or more. If you don't have a meter, but you do have a compass put it on the battery, when you crank the car the N will point in one direction, when it's running it should point in the opposite direction tell you it charging. If you need an ALT, the best and least expensive route is a self serve yard. Pull a Subaru Alt for about $45.

Get the Factory wiring, sometime you can find them online. Load, Ground Power Once you have all three located you can test the circuit. I've stripped a few cars of your vintage, if my memory serves me correctly, all the wiring runs down the passenger side door frame, lower rail. I believe there is a main connector up at the passenger side front kick panel as well. Find a good diagram, otherwise your just chasing your tail. You have done some good testing so far. Good Luck, Larry

Did you check voltage with the fan connected or disconnected? If Disconnected you meter can lie to you. Check out Load Pro on you tube. You will find numerous videos Dan Sullivan has done on properly checking voltage. - Seeing Voltage in the connector you have ruled out: 1) Opens 2) Shorts You need to check the circuit under load (fan connected) or using the Load Pro to rule out high resistance.
